Test Example 1 Bioactivity Test (Measurement of intestinal contractile activity) (1) Animal Used

A male NZW rabbit (body weight: 2.5 to 3.0 kg, KITAYAMA LABES CO., LTD., NAGANO) was used.

(2) Reagent

Carbachol (carbamylcholine chloride, Sigma-Aldrich Japan K.K.) was purchased and used. Each test compound was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich Japan K.K.), and then suspended in physiological saline. Carbachol was dissolved in physiological saline.

(3) Experimental Method and Results

Pentobarbital sodium (Kyoritsu Seiyaku Corporation, Osaka) was administered to the rabbit through the auricular vein, and the rabbit was euthanized by exsanguination under anesthesia. Thereafter, the duodenum was excised from the rabbit and rapidly rinsed with Krebs solution (NaCl 120.0 mM, KCl 4.7 mM, CaCl₂ 2.4 mM, KH₂PO₄ 1.0 mM, MgSO₄ 1.2 mM, NaHCO₃ 24.5 mM, and glucose 5.6 mM, pH 7.4). Then, a longitudinal muscle strip (length: 10 mm, width: 3 mm) was prepared from the duodenal smooth muscle layer obtained by stripping off the mucosal layer from the duodenum. The prepared strip was mounted in an organ bath and contained in 20 mL of Krebs solution gassed with 95% O₂ and 5% CO₂ at 31° C. so as to suppress excessive locomotion, and a tension of 1 g was applied thereto. The strip was left to stand for 1 hour or more while replacing the Krebs solution every 15 minutes until the strip was equilibrated. Before starting the experiment, stimulation with carbachol at 10 μM was repeatedly applied until a reproducible contraction was obtained. The contractile activity was measured with an FD pickup (TB-611T, Nihon Kohden Corporation, Tokyo) and recorded on a pen recorder (RECTI HORIZ-8K, Sanei, Tokyo). Each test compound was added to the Krebs solution at 0.01 nM to 10 μM, and the strip was contracted by cumulative dosing. The contractile activity at each concentration was determined when the contractile activity at the time of stimulation with carbachol at 10 μM was taken as 100%, and the EC50 value of each test compound was determined. The EC50 values are shown below.
